The correct answer is B, which is indeed a run-on sentence. There are two independent sentences. A period should be placed after the word continues, with a new sentence starting with <em>the weather</em>. The semi-colon in example D is correct, making this a solid (not a run-on) sentence.

The correct answer is B. The game will be called if the storm continues, the weather is dangerous.


A run-on sentence means that two sentences are connected in a grammatically wrong way, usually by writing a comma between them. This is sometimes wrong, as they need to be connected using a conjunction as well. So, in order to fix sentence B, you'd need to write the conjunction <em>and if </em>before <em>the weather is dangerous.</em>

For the story :Desiree's Baby," What is the author’s most likely purpose for introducing the story through Madame
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

hope this helps

Explanation:

What we see in this story are two extremes of kinship: Monsieur and Madame Valmondé very willingly take in Desiree as a baby who they knew nothing about. There were theories among the townspeople that she was left by a party of traveling Texans, but that did not seem to make a difference for the Valmondés. They took in Desiree as she was, and it was only when Armand took a fancy to her as a grownup that Monsieur Valmondé cautioned Armand to at least consider the background of Desiree. When Desiree realized what Armand thought about their child and about her racial background, she writes a heartfelt and urgent letter to Madame Valmondé. The Madame sends back a brief reply: "My own Desiree: Come home to Valmondé; back to your mother who loves you. Come with your child." It is more than evident that regardless of all that has happened - and from the tone of Valmondé's letter it seems that she knew something like this was going to happen - Valmondé very enthusiastically tells Desiree to come home. Moreover, she tells her to bring the baby as well.
